What a dish!

We have an extra seat at the table, would you like to join us? I love using my Christmas dishes and other table top toys! I started collecting these dishes when I was a teenager, and I still love them today! It was considered VERY decadent to buy dishes that I would only use for a few weeks a year - mom was correct, but I did it any way!

Then at my bridal shower, mom added 8 place settings, plus many serving pieces to my 8 place settings - then she started collecting her own pattern! LOL!!!

Mary, my mum has special Christmas dishes, too; hers are a creamy white with gold rims and golden stars all over, very pretty. It is nice to have something special for this special time of the year, isn't it!

I've always wanted special tableware for Christmas and other holidays, but have never lived in an apartment or house with enough space to store them for the other 11 months of the year. So I'm enjoying your place settings vicariously!

I remember when I bought a set of Christmas dishes at Target a few years ago. I felt so guilty about it, but I do love to put them out for that one month a year. It's good to be decadent once in a while.
